Taking Action 

So much needs to be done that it's almost discouraging. But remember:


I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.   Edward Everett Hale


Brazilian "activists. ...the rough English translation is, 'no one lets go of anyone’s hand.'" Chris Hayes

Organizations.

Books.

Thomas E. Patterson , How America Lost Its Mind: The Assault on Reason That’s Crippling Our Democracy

Civic Engagement.

The strongest power we have next to voting might be civic action. That means being in contact with our legislators to let them know how we want our country to work. 

You can help by 

1. Educating yourself on a topic of interest to you

2. Calling or emailing your legislator's office. Tell the staffer who answers that you have a message. It takes less than a minute. The staffer told me she will tally calls and pass the information on to the legislator.

Then encourage others. The dream is to get LOTS of people calling so the power grows!
